(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Alagunellaikumar 6,212

Hi 
I would like to implement typescript in dynamics CRM. I have created a new simple type script.

Type script file

class Student {
//Function

age() {
return 20;
}
}

and also i have converted typescript  to javascript file.

After I don't know how should i cal age() function in the onchange event of Name field in the account entity.

Could you please any one help?

    If I look at the generated javascript code it looks like this:

    var Student = (function () {

       function Student() {

       }

       Student.prototype.age = function () {

           return 20;

       };

       return Student;

    }());

    So in the onchange event this should work:

    Student.age

    Module is namespace in typescript. If i use module in type script and then how should i call in the onchange event.

    /// <reference path="typings/Xrm/Xrm-2015.d.ts" />

    module KTI {

        class Student {

           //Function

                   OnNameChange() {

               alert("Testdata");

           }

           age() {

               return 20;

           }

       }

    }

    My TS file

    The Javascript code:

    var KTI;

    (function (KTI) {

       var Student = (function () {

           function Student() {

           }

           //Function

           Student.prototype.OnNameChange = function () {

               alert("Testdata");

           };

           Student.prototype.age = function () {

               return 20;

           };

           return Student;

       }());

    })(KTI || (KTI = {}));

    So I would think that this should work in the onchange event:

    KTI.Student.age

    or:

    KTI.Student.OnNameChange

    To be precise, you don't. You can't call a .ts file, you must call a .js file.

    There are two paths:

    - Either you use something like requirejs to load the required javascript files

    - Or you create all your modules and classes in separate files and use the typescipt compiler to build one javascript file.

    For CRM I would use the last option.

    An example from a project of mine:

    {

     "compilerOptions": {

       "module": "amd",

       "noImplicitAny": false,

       "noEmitOnError": true,

       "removeComments": true,

       "sourceMap": true,

       "target": "es5",

       "outDir": "./client",

       "outFile": "./client/app.js",

       "sourceRoot": "./client"

     },

     "exclude": [

       "node_modules",

       "wwwroot"

     ]

    }

    the outdir, outfile and sourceroot are the ones that tell where to look and where to place the js file.

    Hi Martin,

    Thanks for your time. I am very new to the type script, please tell me "An example from a project of mine:" code where should i put how should i use it. If you tell step by step that would be more helpful for me. 

    More over your second point combine all module class in a single .js file, how should i achieve it.

    Please look at www.typescriptlang.org, there you can find a sample of the command line command (tsc) to compile your TypeScript to JS.

    tsc also has an option of using a tsconfig.json file in the root of your project. The example above is from one of my tsconfig.json files. Depending on your toolset there are two options:

    - Visual Studio -> you can add the tsconfig.json and/or set some typescript build properties. If you do so, building your solution will also build your ts and compile it to js.

    - Text editors (Visual Studio Code) -> you need to use the command line version. The tsconfig.json works the same.
